The file permissions on .Xauthority must be 400 (read and write for user ONLY). Any other file permission will cause the xauth program to reject the file.
As a final measure you can try deleting the .Xauthority file altogether. The file will be recreated the next time you log in

Code: Select all

id
ls -lA
ls -l /home
What do you get?
I do not copy all the output of id. Too long.
Instead I've realized that /home is empty :shock:

I suggest copying my old /home to the new one. Am I right?

Yes, but I would first try to find out why your /home is empty. Are you mounting it properly? What is the output of

Code: Select all

mount
?

It's mounted all right. So, you probably accidentally nuked it? In any case, restore your backup and it should probably be OK.

Yes, probably. Shame on me :oops:

I did it (I restored the backup) and now it is fine. Not all, because I must install a lot of packages and configure them.

Some problems arise in the installation and the configuration. For the sake of the forum, I will ask for help in anothers topics.

Thanks again.
